STRIKE  THE  ANVIL,  MAKE  IT  SOUND 

Edited  by  Alberto  Randegger 

Karl  Benker  1832-1911 

Alberto  Randegger,  composer,  conductor  and  singing 
master,  was  born  in  Trieste,  and  there  received  his  earlier 
education.  After  winning  fame  as  an  opera  conductor  in 
Austria  and  Italy,  he  removed  to  London  in  1854,  where  for 
a  well-rounded  half  century  he  maintained  a  position  of  great 
distinction  in  the  musical  world.  The  origin  of  his  name  is 
interesting.  Situated  in  the  extreme  south  of  the  grand 
duchy  of  Baden,  close  to  the  Swiss  border,  is  the  little  town 
of  Randegg.  Here  was  born  an  ancestor  of  the  composer, 
who,  when  in  the  course  of  time  he  started  out  to  see  the 
world,  followed  the  old  custom  of  exchanging  his  patronymic 
for  the  name  of  his  birth-place. 

The  composition  here  presented,  in  itself  a  stirring, 
forceful  number,  is  but  one  of  many  fine  concerted  vocal 
works  by  this  writer. 

Gift  of  demons,  raging  fire! 
Fiercely  blazing  in  grim  ire ! 

Hissing,  spitting,  sparks  emit! 

Rushing,  roaring,  flare  and  flit! 

Now  we  stir  thee,  plunging  deep. 
Till  our  pulses  madly  leap! 

Wield  the  hammer,  swing  it  'round ! 

Strike  the  anvil,  make  it  sound ! 

Quaff  the  goblet's  ardent  tide. 

Laugh  at  scruples,  fear  deride ! 

Crushing,  smiting,  naught  we  spare, 
Dashing,  shatt'ring,  aught  we  dare ! 


VALENTINE 

To  the  Galveston  Quartette  Society 

Charles  Granger  Blanden  Horatio  William  Parker 

1857  1863     Opus  33,  No.  3 

Mr.  Charles  G.  Blanden,  author  of  this  dainty  bit  of 
verse,  is  a  native  of  Illinois,  and  is  engaged  in  business  in 
Chicago,  with  his  residence  in  Oak  Park.  For  one  whose 
mind  is  engrossed  in  business  cares,  his  contribution  to  Amer- 
ican literature  is  remarkable,  consisting  of  no  less  than  six 
volumes  of  poetry.  His  lyrics  are  occasionally  found  in  the 
Chicago  Evening  Post. 

In  the  delightful  music  written  for  these  lines  Mr.  Parker 
displays  his  art  in  handling  the  smaller  musical  form ;  it  be- 
trays the  same  polish  and  refinement  which  are  characteristic 
of  his  larger  works,  and  which  make  his  compositions  a  joy 
to  the  cultivated  ear. 

I  would  I  were  a  little  flow'r 

That  springeth  in  thy  path ; 
Its  life  is  one  of  happiness, 

A  happy  death  it  hath. 

You  love  it,  pluck  it,  to  your  lips 

You  press  the  modest  eyes; 
It  closes  them  and  falls  asleep — 

That  sleep  is  Paradise. 

O  make  me,  sweet,  thy  Valentine, 

Or  I  that  flow'r  shall  prove, 
Which  rude  winds  shatter  pitiless. 

And  no  lips  love. 


ALEXANDER 

To  George  Riseley,  Esq.,  and  the  Mem- 
bers of  the  Bristol  Royal  Orpheus  Society 
and     the     Gloucester     Orpheus    Society 

Alfred  Herbert  Brewer 

1865 

Dr.  Brewer  (Mus.  Doc.  conferred  by  the  Archbishop  of 
Canterbury,  honoris  causa,  in  1905)  is  well  known  throughout 
Great  Britain  as  composer,  conductor  and  organist.  He  is 
organist  and  master  of  choristers  at  Gloucester  Cathedral. 
His  principal  compositions  are  church  services  and  festival 
Odes  and  Pastorals.  Like  other  great  composers  Dr.  Brewer 
occasionally  finds  vent  for  his  humor  in  music,  and  "Alex- 
ander" (the  words  anonymous)  is  a  happy  example  of  his 
ability  in  that  line,  including  as  it  does  the  introduction  of  a 
fragment  from  Mendelssohn's  Wedding  March  to  the  line 
"And  so  they  framed  a  partnership." 

There  was  a  chap  who  kept  a  store, 
And  though  there  might  be  grander. 

He  sold  his  goods  to  all  who  came, 
And  his  name  was  Alexander. 

He  mixed  his  goods  with  cunning  hand, 

He  was  a  skillful  brander ; 
And,  since  his  sugar  was  half  sand, 

They  call  him  Alex-Sander. 

He  had  his  dear  one  and  she  came. 

And  lovingly  he  scanned  her. 
He  asked  her  would  she  change  her  name. 

Then  ring  did  Alex-hand-her. 

"Oh  yes,"  she  said,  with  smiling  lip, 

"If  I  can  be  commander," 
And  so  they  framed  a  partnership 

And  called  it  Alex-and-her. 


DU  BIST  DIE  RUH' 

Frans  Schubert 

My  sweet  repose,  my  soothing  peace, 
Assuage  my  woes,  ah !  make  them  cease ; 
Reside  with  me  'mid  joys  and  sighs. 
Thy  home  shall  be  my  heart  and  eyes. 

Still  all  my  woes  to  wake  no  more; 

Behind  thee  close  the  noiseless  door; 

Bid  grief  and  pain  in  haste  depart; 

Do  thou  remain  to  cheer  this  heart. 

Shed  o'er  my  sight  thy  glorious  ray. 

Come,   heart's   delight,  come  here  and   stay. 


AUF  DEM  WASSER  ZU  SIN  GEN 

F.  Schubert 

Midst  the  bright  sheen  of  the  mirror-like  waters, 
Swan-Hke  is  floating  the  wavering  boat; 

Gently  along  on  those  glittering  waters, 
Glideth  our  spirit  away  like  a  boat; 

Down  from  the  Heav'ns  on  the  tremulous  waters, 
Rich  tints  of  evening  illume  the  swift  boat. 

Over  the  beauty  of  each  western  valley, 

Cheerfully  greets  us  the  reddening  glow ; 

Under  the  branches  in  each  eastern  valley. 
Whispers  the  reed  in  the  reddening  glow; 

Gladness  from  heaven,  and  peace  from  the  valley. 
Breathe  o'er  the  soul  in  the  red  evening  glow. 

Thus  disappears  on  a  light,  dewy  pinion, 
Swiftly  receding  like  waters,  the  time; 

Morrows  will  vanish  on  that  rapid  pinion 
Even  as  yesterday,  now,  and  all  time ; 

Till  I,  on  soaring  and  radiant  pinion. 

Vanish  away  from  the  changes  of  time. 


ICH  HAB'  MIR  MEIN  KIN  DEL 

Hermann 

I've  put  my  sweet  baby  to  sleep  in  his  bed, 
Bedeck'd  with  the  fairest  roses  pink  and  red ; 
With  snow-white  clover  his  locks  too  adorn, 
My  baby  will  sleep  till  the  breaking  of  morn. 

LuUa  lullay,  lullaby. 

I  promis'd  my  baby  that  dreaming  he'd  see 
Fair  angels  who'd  bring  him  a  shining  Christmas  tree. 
So  now,  while  her  watch  doth  thy  mother  keep. 
Oh  hush  thee,  my  darling,  my  baby,  sleep. 

Lulla  lullay,  lullaby. 


SCHLAGENDE  HERZEN 

Richard  Strauss 

Over  mountain  and  dale  went  a  youth  in  Spring 

Cling  clang,  loud  heat  his  heart; 
He  wore  on  his  finger  a  bright  golden  ring 

Cling  clang,  loud  heat  his  heart. 

Oh  meadows  so  green,  oh  woodlands  so  fair. 
Oh  mountains,  oh  valleys,  how  fair; 
High  up  in  heav'n  with  golden  beam 
The  glorious  sun  gilds  each  murmuring  stream. 
Cling  clang,  loud  beat  his  heart. 

Merrily  the  youth  thus  hastened  along. 

Cling  clang,  loud  heat  his  heart. 
Culled  many  a  flower,  sang  many  a  song, 

Cling  clang,  loud  heat  his  heart. 

Over  mountains  and  valleys  the  soft  winds  blow, 
Over  mountains  and  woodland  they  whisper  low ; 
My  heart  with  fond  love  is  all  aglow. 
For  thee,  sweet  maid,  where  e'er  I  go. 
Cling  clang,  loud  beat  his  heart. 


Mid  the  flowers  of  the  meadow  a  maiden  stands, 
Cling  clang,  loud  beats  her  heart, 

Shielding  her  eyes  with  her  tiny  white  hands. 
Cling  clang,  loud  heats  her  heart. 

Through  meadows  and  woodlands, 

O'er  mountain  and  valley  he  comes. 

The  lad  I  love  ah,  so  dear,  he  hastens  along ; 

Oh  that  he  were  here ! 

Cling  clang,  loud  beats  her  heart. 


FAREWELL  TO  MINK  A 
Russian  Song  Harmonized  by 

William  Rees 

Russia,  with  its  hordes  of  people  just  emerging  from  the 
darkness  of  ignorance  and  superstition,  with  its  tremendous 
distances  and  its  numerous  little  clusters  of  peasants  leading 
an  isolated  life,  is  a  fertile  field  for  the  folk-song — that  voice 
of  the  common  people,  coming  down  to  us  from  centuries  gone 
by.  "Farewell  to  Minka"  has  all  the  characteristics  of  the 
Russian  song — the  plaintive  minor  melody,  the  limited  com- 
pass, suited  to  the  crude  voice,  and  the  marked  rhythm.  The 
words  represent  a  dialogue  between  a  lover  and  his  mistress 
on  the  eve  of  parting,  and  in  the  solo  form  may  have  been 
sung  by  two  voices,  one  after  the  other. 

Enquiry  establishes  the  fact  that  William  Rees  is  the 
nom-de-plume  of  Max  Vogrich,  the  pianist  and  composer, 
who  now  resides  in  London.  Vogrich  was  born  in  Transyl- 
vania in  1853.  In  1878  he  toured  the  United  States  with 
Wilhelmj,  the  violinist.  From  1886,  for  several  years  he  lived 
in  New  York,  where  he  was  connected  with  Schirmer's  pub- 
lishing house. 

Minka,  I  must  go  tomorrow, 
Ah !  thou  know'st  not  half  my  sorrow ; 
When  shall  I  some  comfort  borrow, 
When  afar  from  thee? 

8 


Dull  will  seem  the  bright  sun  yonder 
While  alone  and  sad  I  wander, 
Growing,  spite  of  absence,  fonder, 
Minka  mine,  of  thee! 

Never  shall  my  love  forsake  thee, 
Though  my  songs  no  more  awake  thee. 
Still  my  greetings  shall  o'ertake  thee, 
Grant  me  then  one  pray'r ! 

After  many  a  slow  moon's  waning. 
If  once  more  my  home  regaining. 
Let  me  find  thee,  love,  remaining 
Faithful  still,   and   fair. 

Oh,  my  Olaf,  must  we  sever? 
I  will  think  of  thee  forever ; 
Song  and  dance  shall  tempt  me  never, 
Pale  my  cheek  will  be. 

And  through  long  nights  wakeful  lying. 
When  the  winds  around  are  sighing, 
I  shall  ask  them    if  in  flying 
Thee  they  chanced  to  see. 

Now  my  gay  songs  all  unlearning, 
I  must  wait  with  anxious  yearning. 
But  with  thee  again  returning 

Joy  once  more  will  shine. 

What  though  all  my  youthful  graces, 
Cruel  time  meanwhile  effaces, 
Spite  of  sorrows,  scars  and  traces. 
Thou  wilt  still  be  mine. 


A  TOAST  {to  Woman) 

To  Mr.  Arthur  D.  Woodruff 

and 

The  University  Glee  Club  of  New  York 

Edward  Coate  Pinkney  William  G.  Hammond 

1803-1828  1875 

Mr.  William  G.  Hammond,  who  now  resides  in  New 
York,  is  one  of  the  most  prolific  of  our  younger  composers, 
especially  in  vocal  music.  Some  of  his  best  compositions  are 
for  male  chorus,  and  several  of  these  have  found  favor  with 
the  Chicago  Mendelssohn  Club. 

Mr.  Edward  Coate  Pinkney,  writer  of  this  gallant  verse, 
was  born  in  London,  of  American  parents,  his  father  being 
minister  to  England  at  the  time.  He  was  brought  to  the  States 
in  1811.  In  1825  he  published  a  volume  of  verses  in  which 
the  following  poem  appeared  under  the  title  "A  Health." 
The  same  year  he  was  appointed  professor  of  rhetoric  and 
belles  lettres  in  the  University  of  Maryland.  In  1827  he  be- 
came editor  of  "The  Marylander,"  a  political  paper  established 
in  the  interests  of  John  Quincy  Adams,  and  served  with  dis- 
tinction until  his  life  was  snuffed  out  in  1828. 

A  few  of  Pinkney's  poems,  including  "A  Health,"  still 
figure  in  American  literature.  The  original  lyric  contains 
five  stanzas,  of  which  the  third  and  fourth  are  omitted  in 
this  song. 

I  fill  this  cup  to  one  made  up 

Of  loveliness  alone — 
A  woman,  of  her  gentle  sex 

The  seeming  paragon; 
To  whom  the  better  elements 

And  kindly  stars  have  given 
A  form  so  fair,  that,  like  the  air, 

'Tis  less  of  earth  than  heaven. 

Her  ev'ry  tone  is  music's  own 

Like  those  of  morning  birds, 
And  something  more  than  melody 

Dwells  ever  in  her  words ; 

10 


The  coinage  of  her  heart  are  they 

And  from  her  lips  each  flows, 
As  one  may  see  the  burden'd  bee 

Forth  issue  from  the  rose. 

I  fill  the  cup  to  one  made  up 

Of  loveliness  alone — 
A  woman,  of  her  gentle  sex 

The  seeming  paragon. 
Her  health !  and  would  on  earth  there  stood 

Some  more  of  such  a  frame, 
That  life  might  be  all  poetry 

And  weariness  a  name. 


SONG  OF  THE  VIKING 

To  Mr.  Benjamin  L.  Knapp 

Louisa  T.  Craigin  George  Whitfield  Chadzvick 

1837-1886  1854 

George  W.  Chadwick,  director  of  the  New  England  Con- 
servatory of  Music  in  Boston,  is  one  of  the  most  distinguished 
of  our  contemporary  American  composers.  One  of  his  com- 
positions is  the  music  for  the  Columbian  Ode,  sung  at  the 
opening  of  the  World's  Fair  at  Chicago  in  1893.  The  "Song 
of  the  Viking"  was  published  in  1882,  shortly  after  Chadwick's 
return  from  three  years  of  foreign  study;  and  now,  after 
thirty-three  years  of  popularity,  it  has  been  translated  into 
German  and  is  to  be  performed  with  orchestra  by  the  Con- 
cordia Mannergesangs-Verein  in  Leipzig,  of  which  Mr.  Chad- 
wick was  formerly  a  member. 

Mrs.  L.  T.  Craigin,  the  writer  of  this  poem,  spent  her 
life  in  Boston  and  its  environs  where  for  many  years  she  was 
active  in  literary  circles.  Besides  her  own  poems  she  trans- 
lated many  songs  from  the  German,  French  and  Italian,  and 
also  wrote  essays,  short  stories,  musical  criticisms  and  book 
reviews. 

11 


I'm  a  Viking  bold  and  my  throne  of  old 

Was  a  good  ship  strong  and  stout; 
On  the  battle  plain  of  the  pathless  main, 

Death  and  I've  had  many  a  bout. 

On  the  storm  rides  he,  o'er  the  raging  sea, 

Every  wave  a  crested  knight : 
But  the  Vikings  dare  his  dominion  to  share. 

We  defy  him  in  all  his  might. 

When  the  tempest  loud,  howls  thro'  sail  and  shroud. 

Then  the  Viking  laughs  with  glee; 
'Mid  the  wind  and  wave  he's  a  monarch  brave. 

For  the  Viking's  king  of  the  sea. 

Tho'  the  sea  afraid,  calls  the  rocks  to  aid, 

And  above  him  the  surges  leap, 
Yet  the  Viking's  throne  still  remains  his  own ; 

He  is  king  of  the  lower  deep. 


OMNIPOTENCE 

To  my  Friend  Harrison  M.  Wild 

and  the 

Chicago  Mendelssohn  Club 

Isaiah  LI  1 :9  Frederick  Stevenson 

Isaiah  XXVI  :4  1845        Opus  70 

Psalm  CXLVII:5  to  18 

Mr.  Frederick  Stevenson  was  born  and  reared  in  Newark, 
England.  Equipped  with  a  splendid  musical  training,  he  spent 
fifteen  years  of  glorious  activity  in  London,  as  organist,  choir- 
master, conductor  and  composer.  In  1883  he  removed  to 
Denver,  where  he  was  offered  the  important  post  of  Precentor 
of  St.  John's  Cathedral.  Eleven  years  later  he  transferred  his 
activity  to  Los  Angeles,  and  at  present  he  resides  in  Santa 
Barbara. 

13 


While  Mr.  Stevenson  is  best  known  in  the  field  of  church 
music  (his  published  sacred  works  number  over  fifty),  he  has 
also  written  freely  in  the  song  sphere,  the  more  notable  being 
"The  Salutation  of  the  Dawn,"  "Light"  and  "O  Radiant 
Hour,"  and  with  especial  success  in  secular  choral  form,  such  as 
the  "Viennese"  and  "Italian"  Serenades,  "Idylle  Mongolienne" 
(sung  by  the  Chicago  Mendelssohn  Qub),  "Dance  of  the 
Fays,"  "Ariel"  and  "May-Day,"  as  also  works  for  orchestra. 

On  the  fly-leaf  of  "Omnipotence"  is  inscribed  the  follow- 
ing sentiment,  in  the  composer's  own  hand-writing : 

To  Harrison  M.  Wild,  in  unbounded  admiration  of  his 
distinguished  achievements  as  director  and  organist,  and  as 
evincing  in  some  slight  measure  the  high  personal  regard  of 
his  fellow-musician  and  friend.

Break  forth  into  joy,  for  in  the  Lord 
Jehovah  is  everlasting  strength. 
Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  sing  with  thanksgiving : 
Sing  praise  upon  the  harp  unto  our  God. 

He  casteth  forth  his  ice  like  morsels : 
Who  can  stand  before  his  cold? 
He  sendeth  out  his  word  and  melteth  them : 
He  hfteth  up  the  meek : 
He  casteth  the  wicked  down  to  the  ground : 
He  covereth  the  heaven  with  clouds : 
He  maketh  the  grass  to  grow  upon  the  mountains : 
He  causeth  his  wind  to  blow  and  the  waters  flow : 
He  giveth  snow  like  wool : 
He  scattereth  the  hoar-frost  like  ashes : 
He  maketh  peace  in  thy  borders  and  filleth  thee 
with  the  flour  of  wheat. 

Great  is  our  God,  and  great  His  power. 
Sing  unto  the  Lord,  O  sing  with  thanksgiving. 

Amen,  Amen.

SPRING  NIGHT 

Anna  Esser  Max  Filke 

English  version  by  1855.     Opus  44 

Dr.  Th.  Baker 

Max  Filke  was  born  in  Silesia,  and  obtained  his  early 
musical  training  under  the  cantor  of  the  Breslau  Cathedral, 
later  studying  at  Ratisbon  and  Leipzig.  After  serving  for 
several  years  as  choir  director  at  Strassburg,  and  conductor 
of  the  Cologne  Liederkreis,  he  became  Cathedral  Kapell- 
meister at  Breslau  (1891)  and  teacher  in  the  Royal  Academic 
Institute  for  Church  Music  (1893),  being  appointed  Royal 
Music-Director  in  1899.  He  occupies  a  leading  position  among 
present-day  Catholic  church  composers,  and  has  also  written 
numerous  excellent  secular  choruses  for  male  and  for  mixed 
voices. 

"Spring  Night"  is  a  beautiful  tonal  picture,  written  in  the 
old  style,  seductive  in  melody,  of  stable  tonality,  and  adequate 
as  a  musical  interpretation  of  the  text. 


How  dewy  the  night,  and  the  roses  how  sweet ! 

Low  billows  are  whispering  lightly, 
Where  dancing  upon  them  with  silvery  feet 

The  moonbeams  are  glancing  so  brightly. 

Now  bending  the  birches  are  sighing  beyond. 
And  lowering  fir  trees  are  swaying. 

And  thro'  yonder  reeds,  by  the  slumbering  pond. 
Night-revelling  Nixies  are  playing. 

Borne  fondly  on  breezes  in  wayward  career, 

Hie  far-away  songs  ever  onward. 
And  wafted  on  gossamer  clouds  in  the  air. 

How  golden  the  dreams  floating  downward. 

Ah,  then  as  a  vision  of  tender  delight, 
Dreams  of  my  soul  came  before  me. 

And  onward  to  thee  in   their  heav'n-soaring   flight, 
Thro'  time  and  space  airily  bore  me. 

14 


Full  many  an  image  of  love  most  rare, 

Me-thought  in  thy  slumber  I'd  weave  thee, 

Press  lip  upon  lip  as  if  never  aware, 

Then  float  away  smiling  and  leave  thee. 

O  vision  of  joy  in  the  calm  Spring  night, 
How  bindest  thou  every  emotion ! 

Ah,  weave  it  yet  longer  with  marvelous  might, 
Thy  spell  of  fond  love  and  devotion.

Mr.  William  Lester  was  born  in  Leicester,  England,  but 
came  to  the  States  at  the  age  of  thirteen,  and  since  1908  has 
resided  in  Chicago,  where,  under  competent  teachers  he  has 
made  an  advanced  study  of  theory  and  composition,  as  well 
as  organ  and  piano  technique.  Mr.  Lester  is  an  unusually 
fertile  composer  for  one  so  young,  his  works  including  a 
ballad  for  soli,  chorus  and  orchestra,  a  sacred  cantata,  several 
suites  for  strings,  over  200  songs  and  part-songs,  numerous 
anthems  and  many  separate  pieces  for  piano  and  organ. 
In  this  interesting  group  of  songs  the  composer  displays  a 
true  musicianship,  not  only  in  his  mastery  of  technique,  but 
in  his  ability  to  give  musical  expression  to  the  various  nuances 
of  the  poetic  lines. 

Miss  Dorothy  Potter,  the  writer  of  "The  Northland," 
is  a  Chicagoan  by  birth,  and  spent  all  of  her  life  here  until  a 
year  ago,  when  her  parents  moved  to  Seattle.  She  is  a  grad- 
uate of  the  University  High  School,  and  took  a  partial  course 
at  the  University  of  Chicago.  Although,  in  the  lyric  here 
given,  Miss  Potter  evinces  an  exceptional  talent  for  poetry, 
the  young  lady  writes  that  her  work  usually  is  play-writing.

Henry  de  Vere  Stacpoole  (b.  1865),  the  English  writer 
and  publicist,  was  born  in  Dublin,  educated  at  Malvern  Col- 
lege and  resides  in  Chelmsford,  Essex.  He  has  travelled 
much  and  far,  assisting  in  several  deep-sea  expeditions.  His 
publications  are  numerous  and  have  been  translated  into 
several  foreign  languages.  He  is  also  a  contributor  to  a 
number  of  periodicals,  including  World's  Work  and  The  Out- 
look. The  little  poem,  "Ghosts,"  was  published  (1910)  in  a 
tiny  volume  entitled  Poems  and  Ballads. 

Thomas  Hey  wood  (1575P-1650?),  the  celebrated  English 
dramatist,  had  been  engaged  as  an  actor  before  Queen  Eliza- 
beth's death,  in  1603.  From  acting  he  turned  to  writing  plays, 
and  was  in  the  hey-day  of  his  glory  through  the  reigns  of 
the  two  Stuarts,  James  and  Charles.  He  was  a  most  prolific 
writer,  boasting  in  1633  of  having  had  "an  entire  hand,  or  at 
least  a  main  finger"  in  220  plays,  only  23  of  which  survive. 

The  "Song  of  Joy"  occurs  in  his  tragedy  entitled  the 
Rape  of  Lucrece,  acted  in  1603  and  printed  in  1608.  This 
work  is  described  as  "a  ready  but  commonplace  refashioning 
of  an  immortal  story,  inexplicably  destroyed,  in  its  tragic  and 
pathetic  possibilities  by  the  intrusion  of  the  songs — some  as 
ribald  as  others  are  exquisite — of  'the  merry  Lord  Valerius.' " 


THE  NORTHLAND 

The  Northland  wakes. 

For  her  icy  breast  the  sun  in  spring-time  love  has  kissed : 

And  the  breath  of  the  sea  blows  away  the  mist 

That  shrouds  her  darkling  shores. 

The  Northland  lives. 

On  the  grassy  lea,  the  pulsing  whisper  of  flow'r  and  tree 

Fills  the  open  void  from  sky  to  sea. 

And  Love  is  warm  and  young. 

The  Northland  sleeps! 

'Neath  a  sullen  sky  the  angry  waves  are  dashing  high. 
And  the  storm  sings  in  tune  to  the  seagull's  cry — 
And  Love  is  cold  and  dead !

GHOSTS 

Gone  is  the  rain,  no  flower  the  garden  graces ; 
Over  the  world  the  skies  of  winter  harden; 
Pale  at  my  pane  the  frost  flowers  press  their  faces, 
Ghosts  that  half  veil  the  ruins  of  my  garden. 

And  as  they  press,  so  press  those  other  faces, 
Pale  at  the  pane  half  veiling  Life's  December — 
Ghosts  without  stain 

Of  loved  ones  I  remember. 


A  SONG  OF  JOY 

(From  the  edition  of  Heywood's  plays,  dated  1638) 

Packe  cloudes  away,  and  welcome  day, 

With  night  we  banish  sorrow ; 

Sweete  Ayre  blow  soft,  mount  Lark  aloft. 

To  give  my  love  good  morrow. 

Winges  from  the  winde,  to  please  her  minde, 

Notes  from  the  Larke  ile  borrow ; 

Bird   prune  thy   wing.   Nightingale   sing: 

To  give  my  love  good  morrow. 

To  give  my  love  good  morrow, 

Notes  from  them  all  ile  borrow. 

Wake  from  thy  nest,  Robin  red-brest. 
Sing  Birds  in  every  Furrow, 
And  from  each  bill,  let  Musicke  shrill, 
Give  my  faire  love  good  morrow : 
Blacke-bird  and  Thrush,  in  every  Bush, 
Stare,  Linnet,  and  Cock-sparrow, 
You  pretty  elves,  amongst  yourselves, 
Sing  my  faire  love  good  morrow. 
To  give  my  love  good  morrow, 
Sing  Birds  in  every  Furrow.

LIFE  AND  DEATH 

S.  Coleridge-Taylor 

To  look  for  thee — cry  for  thee — 
Sigh  for  thee, 

Under  my  breath, 

To  clasp  but  a  shade 
Where  thy  head  hath  been  laid 
It  is  death. 

To  long  for  thee,  yearn  for  thee,  burn  for  thee, 

Sorrow  and  strife. 
But  to  have  thee,  to  have  thee 
And  hold  thee  and  fold  thee,  , 

It  is  life. 


UNDER  THE  LINDENS 

C.  Marschal-Loepke 

Under  the  lindens  lately  sat  a  couple,  and  no  more,  in  chat; 
I  wonder'd  what  they  could  be  at, 
Under  the  lindens. 
I  saw  four  eyes  and  four  lips  meet, 
I  heard  the  words  "how  sweet,  how  sweet !" 
Had  then  the  fairies  given  a  treat 
Under  the  lindens? 

I  ponder'd  long  and  could  not  tell, 
What  dainty  pleas'd  them  both  so  well. 

Bees! 
Was  it  your  hydromel? 

Under  the  lindens 
How  sweet.

/  KNOIV  MY  LOVE 

Old  Irish 
Arr.  by  C.   Villiers  Stanford 

"I  know  my  love  by  his  way  o'  walkin', 
And  I  know  my  love  by  his  way  o'  talkin', 
And  I  know  my  love  drest  in  a  suit  of  blue, 
And  if  my  love  leaves  me  what  will  I  do-o-o?" 
And  still  she  cried,  "I  love  him  the  best, 
And  a  troubled  mind,  sure,  can  know  no  rest." 
And  still  she  cried,  "bonny  boys  are  few. 
And  if  my  love  leaves  me  what  will  I  do-o-o? 


There  is  a  dance  house  in  Maradyke, 
And  there  my  true  love  goes  every  night, 
He  takes  a  strange  one  upon  his  knee. 
And  don't  you  think  now  that  vexes  me-e-e?" 
And  still  she  cried,  "I  love  him  the  best. 
And  a  troubled  mind,  sure,  can  know  no  rest," 
And  still  she  cried,  "bonny  boys  are  few. 
And  if  my  love  leaves  me  what  will  I  do-o-o? 


If  my  love  knew  I  could  wash  and  wring. 

If  my  love  knew  I  could  weave  and  spin, 

I'd  make  a  coat  all  of  the  finest  kind. 

But  the  want  of  money,  sure,  laves  me  behind." 

And  still  she  cried,  "I  love  him  the  best. 

And  a  troubled  mind,  sure,  can  know  no  rest," 

And  still  she  cried,  "bonny  boys  are  few. 

And  if  my  love  leaves  me  what  will  I  do-o-o?"

SUMMERTIME 

O   spirit   of   the   summertime, 
Bring  back  the  roses  to  the  dells, 
The  swallow  from  her  distant  clime, 
The  honey-bee  from  distant  cell; 
Brin,g  back  the  friendship  of  the  sun, 

The  gilded   evening   calm   and   late, 
When  weary  children  homeward  run 
And  peeping  stars  bid  lovers  wait; 
Bring  back  the  singing  and  the  scent 
Of  meadowlands  at  dewy  prime ; 
O  bring  again  my  heart's  content, 
Thou  spirit  of  the  summertime.

THE  CHAFER  AND  THE  FLOWER 

English  words  by  IVensel  Heinrich  Veit 

Charles  James  Sprague  1806-1864 

This  bewitching  composition,  remarkable  alike  for  the 
dainty  beauty  of  the  music  and  the  nonsense  of  the  words,  has 
been  sung  for  years  in  the  Vaterland  under  the  cognomen 
"Der  Kafer  und  die  Blume." 

Veit  was  a  Bohemian  composer  of  instrumental  and  vocal 
music.  He  was  almost  entirely  self-taught,  while  a  student 
at  the  University  of  Prague.  He  studied  law  and  became 
president  of  the  District  Court  at  Leitmeritz,  near  his  birth- 
place.    His  chamber-music  is  of  sterling  merit. 

A  chafer  old,  one  morning 
Around  the  garden  flying 
A  pretty  flow'r  espying 

To  her  he  made  his  way. 
And  said,  all  golden  glowing, 
"I  have  the  earth   forsaken. 
My  airy  flight  have  taken ; 

So  love  me  now,  I  pray." 

20 


The  little  flower  answer'd : 
"I  know  of  others  slender, 
And  beautiful  and  tender, 

So  you  can  spare  your  hum." 
Then  saw  the  chafer  o'er  her 
A  butterfly  go  hover, 
A  young  and  gallant  lover, 

And  was  with  fury  dumb. 


CARPATHIAN  FOLK  SONG 


Patty  Stair 


Miss  Patty  Stair,  who  wrote  both  the  words  and  music 
to  this  number,  was  born  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  where  she  now 
resides,  and  there  received  all  her  musical  training.  She  is 
director  of  the  departments  of  piano,  organ  and  theory  in  the 
Cleveland  Conservatory  of  Music  and  in  the  University 
School.  Besides  being  a  concert  pianist,  she  is  organist  of 
the  First  Methodist  Church.  In  1914  she  was  made  a  Fellow 
of  the  American  Guild  of  Organists. 

Miss  Stair  has  published  a  goodly  list  of  songs,  part- 
songs  and  anthems,  and  a  cantata  for  children.  Still  in 
manuscript  are  compositions  for  organ,  for  piano,  a  musical 
comedy  for  High  School  students  (produced  in  Cleveland  in 
1914)  and  a  decidedly  ambitious  three-act  light  opera. 

The  "Carpathian  Folk  Song"  is  described  by  the  com- 
poser as  "a  modified  Hungarian  Czardas,  on  original  themes." 
It  was  first  sung  by  the  Mendelssohn  Club  of  New  York,  in 
February,  1910,  and  since  then  has  been  presented  in  various 
parts  of  the  country.  This  gifted  lady  also  writes  the  verses 
for  her  songs,  and  contributes  articles  on  musical  subjects 
to  papers  and  magazines. 

It  is  noteworthy  that  on  the  scene  of  this  sweet,  pathetic 
song,  viz.,  the  Puszta  or  great  Hungarian  plain,  protected  on 
the  northeast  by  the  Tatra  mountains,  is  now  being  enacted 
an  important  portion  of  that  great  struggle  which  is  rending 
Europe. 

21 


Said  my  sweetheart  in  the  autumn 
When  we  bade  farewell  with  kisses, 
We  will  wed  when  comes  the  springtime 
Back  to  Tatra's  rugged  mountains, 
When  the  snow  fields  come  cascading, 
Bursting  forth  in  icy  fountains, 
In  the  spring,  my  darling. 

Rains  are  pelting,  snows  are  melting. 
Floods  are  gushing,  winds  are  rushing. 
Broad  winged  falcons  high  are  soaring. 
Now  the  sun,  its  rays  down-pouring, 
Wakes  the  Tatra's  dim  recesses 
With  its  warm  and  glad  caresses — 
Ah,  'tis  spring,  my  darling. 

Blue  the  violets  on  the  Puszta, 

By  the  overbrimming  river; 

Blue  my  sweetheart's  eyes  in  autumn, 

When  we  bade  farewell  forever. 

To  the  Tatra  comes  the  springtime, 

To  my  heart  she  cometh  never; 

Where  art  thou,  my  darling?

SONG  or  MAY 

To  Arthur  Claassen 

Johann  Wolfgang  von  Goethe  Frank  van  der  Stucken 

1749-1832  1858     Opus  23,   No.  2 

English  version  by 
Dr.  Th.  Baker 


This  lyric  by  Goethe,  beginning : 

Wie  herrlich  leuchtet 

Mir  die  Natur ! 

Wie  glanzt  die  Sonne ! 
Wie  lacht  die  Flur ! 

is  entitled  "Mailied,"  and  was  first  published  in  1775.  It  is  a 
spontaneous  outburst  from  the  great  poet's  throbbing  heart, 
penned  in  those  lusty  days  of  his  youth,  when  all  the  world 
seemed  rosy.  Its  buoyant  lines  radiate  joy  like  eternal  sun- 
shine, potent  to  thrill  the  breast  of  every  reader  throughout 
time. 

Van  der  Stucken,  the  distinguished  American  composer, 
since  resigning  his  post  in  Cincinnati,  has  acted  as  conductor 
of  the  Royal  Opera  at  Antwerp.  At  present,  however,  he  is 
lost  in  the  maelstrom  of  the  great  struggle. 

This  composer  evidently  felt  the  magic  spell  of  the  mas- 
ter-poet, for  his  virile  setting,  with  its  rich  harmonies  and 
pulsating  rhythm,  gives  splendid  tonal  utterance  to  the  keen 
note  of  jubilation  so  apparent  in  the  lyric. 

How   Nature  smiles  on  me 

Everywhere ! 
How  bright  the   sunshine, 

The    fields    how    fair ! 

A  thousand  blossoms 

On   bending   sprays, 
A   thousand   voices 

On  woodland  ways, 


23 


And   glad  rejoicing 

In  every  breast ! 
O  Earth !  O  sunshine  ! 

O  joy  so  blest! 

O  love,   O  rapture! 

All  golden  bright 
As  clouds  of  morning 

O'er  yonder  height ! 

Thy  glorious  blessing 
The  field  hath  kiss'd, 

The  wide  creation 
In  flow'ry  mist ! 

O  Maiden,  O  Maiden 
Mine  own   thou   art! 

Thine  eyes  betray  me 
Thy  loving  heart ! 

So  loves  the  skylark 
His  songful  flight. 

And  morning  flowers 
The  dews  of  night. 

As  I  do  love  thee 
With   ardent  blood. 

Thou  who  dost  give  me 
On  youth's  full  flood. 

New  songs  for  singing, 
New  pow'r  to  move, 

Be  ever   happy, 
As  now  in  love !
